DOE Supported R&D for Liquid Fuels/Advanced Fuels Synthesis

In collaborative efforts, the Department of Energy is working with Department of Defense on Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis of diesel fuel and jet fuel from various feedstocks, including coal and coal & biomass mixtures. See Coal to FT Liquids Technology, National Energy Technology Laboratory.

Finally, a substantial amount of the R&D being done under Gasification Systems will support lower-cost, ultra-clean syngas feed for FT synthesis.
